The data comes from the calculated waterline length as returned by Nautilus. It automatically corrects actual Waterline length to its idea of effective waterline length and I will ask QCC to put that notation in their page. First time I had seen the page and the QCC boats show actual waterline length rather than the corrected waterline length so they seem longer than they should (relatively speaking). Thanks for pointing that out. I believe Sea kayaker measures actual waterline length so there should be some differences.
